THE DAILY TIMES. LARGEST DAILY CIRCULATION In city nd Nuburbi. JOHN M. MAHTIW, - - IfUllor. Coiuillbaa. CSu.. SUN DA V DECEMBER 19. 1H75. j n\'IIC\NK CROUCH A MiW. - Dr. W. B. Ferrell, an old and well known citizen of Troup county, died sud denly, of meningitis, on Thursday. —Col. Cooper was elected without op position, ou Wednesday, a State Senator in the place of Mr. Wofford, resigned. The Macon Telegraph learns that only the Dawson Hotel was burned by the lire In that town, and that the fire Is supposed to have lieen the work Of an Incendiary. —An energetic colored man of Jluker county made, with the assistance of his wifeand two children, ten bales of cotton and thirty loads of corn. —The last Grand Jury for Burke county asked the Legislature to amend the law go that not less than a quart of liquor can bo sold In Burke county under any cir cumstances. -The “dry” ticket for Mayor and Al dermen of Stone Mountain was elected on Wednesday, by a majority of two to one over the “wet.” John W. McCurdy Is the Mayor elect. —The Hawk Ins vllle Dispatch lias Infor mation of the burning of the gin-house of Mr.Hubert Lewis, or Dooly county, last week. The loss Is about SI., 000. The lire occurred while the gin wasnt work. A negro In Newnan refused to vote the ticket headed “Keutrenehment," because he said It was a Democratic trick to put the negroes to digging 'trenehmente and working the streets. That's another of Fitch’s jokes. - The ordinary of Cobb county has or dered an election to 1111 Mr. Anderson’s place in the Legislature, on the sixth day of next month. Gen. Hansell has with drawn In favor of Judge Irwin, and the race scorns' to bo between Messrs. Irwin, Phillips and Waddell. A North Carolinian carried three hun dred dressed squirrels to Gainesville the other day. It would boas profitless to ask how he managed to kill all those squirrels at one time as to Inquire what kind of traps Hameon used to catch his three thousand foxes. A correspondent of the Gainesville Eagle reports the corn crop of Dawson "ounty an average one in quantity, hut a little deficient In quality—price 00 cents; a good area of wheat sown, and very promising; many hogs dying of cholera, and pork scarce. At the late municipal election in New uan, coffee pots were used as ballot-boxes, each candidate for Mayor having his own coffee pot. But before the counting oould be completed some “mean rascal" stole one of the oofloe pots, nnd Its owner was of course beaten. That’s what Fitch of the Star says, and Fitch always keeps the story of Ananias and Happhira posted in sight over Ills writing desk. —The City Council! of Macon seem bent on retrenchment of the severest kind. The Telegraph says: “They proposo to lot slide the contract with tho Gas Light Com pany and let the streets rest again In dark ness. They proposo to reduee the police force oven below the present small status. They propose to dismiss all tho street hands, nnd also to dismiss every hand at tho park except n gato-koopor. They pro poso to mako reductions in salaries." Elder Samuel W. Story, a Primitive Baptist minister, met a,horrible death in Dooly county, on Wednesday night tho sth Inst,, as wo learn from tho Ilawklns vlUe Dispatch. He was returning from a mill, and stopped to warm himself by the roadside where an old stump had been tired and had burnt a hole In the ground. He was found tho next morning with his head and shoulders In the hot hole, Into which he had fallen, either by accident or during a fit, and had been unable to extri cate hlmsolf. A young man named Roden was ar rested near Augusta,on Thursday, charged with the attempted assassination of Mr. Howland, of tho Granitevllle Factory, a few weeks ago. Three men had been ar rested in South Carolina on this chargo, and one of thorn turned State’s evidence, accusing Itoden, for whom a warrant was Issued by a United States Commissioner lu Columbia, S.C., and oxoculod by a Mar shal in Augusta. -The Home Coin morel al gives an ac count of the killing of Crosaon, In Murray county, dtffiorent from tho ouo which we noticed Ihe other day. It learns that “tho trouble originated through a lawsuit, which was to have boon finally settled on tho Saturday following, by which said Crossen would regain some property which It Is thought his murderers wont ed. The murderers have not been discov ered. The sheriff of Murray county has taken the mother and two sisters of Cros sen to bis home for protection." The accounts published In tho Augus ta papers show that tho origin of the diffi culty between Messrs. Tilly and Batollffe, which led to their fatal duet, was a report repealed by Mr. Katoliffeln roforonoeto Mr. Tilly, “affecting the latter's character t\.s a gentleman.” The Constitutionalist says: “Both gentleman are unmarried, and ‘a lady’ is said to have been tho moving cause of the difficulty." Hr. Tilly de manded Mr. HateliiTe's authority, and the latter declined to give any special author ity, hut said that the report repeated by hifil was a common one, which It would bo difficult to trace up to Its source. This not being acceptable, Mr. Tilly demanded satisfaction, which Mr. RatcUffo prompt ly agreed to give. The resulting duel has been reported in our telegraphic columns. Mr. Tilly dh and of his wound on Friday. Jissfi JacKSOs’s meeting in Atlanta on Thursday night, to protest against tho action of the Federal office-hold ers at ft previous meeting, was attend ed by about three hundred persons, mostly negroes. Resolutions were passed declaring that the Jackson meeting represented nine-tenths of the party, asserting their right to ar raigii any unworthy or dishonest office-holder; pledging the party to tho support of the Administration, and directing that a copy of the reso lutions bo sent to Gen. Grunt. Tho State census of New York, ta ken this year, has not yet been pub lished in full, but it Is ascertained that within the last five years the population of the State has Increased nine hundred thousand, nnd that of the city one hundred thousand. THE ANTI-THIHI* TERM HKSOI.I- Tioxr. The following is the resolution which tho House of Representatives passed on Wednesday, by a vote of 232 yeas to 18 nays: Resolved, That In tho opinion of tills House the precedent established by Wash ington and other Presidents of tho United States, in retiring from the Presidential office after their second term, has become by universal concurrence a part of our republican system of government, and that any departure from this time-hon ored custom would be unwise, unpatriotic, and fraught with peril to our free Institu tions. The following were tho nays: Messrs. Bradley, Dennison, Haralson, Hoge, Hubbell, Hyman, Lynch, McDougal, Nash, Page, Plalsted, Pratt, smalls, Wal lace of South Carolina, Walls, Wells of Mississippi, White and Whiting—lß. The following, in the above list of nays, are Northern Republicans: Bradley of Michigan,Whiting of Illi nois, Dennison of Vermont, Hubbell of Michigan, McDougal and Plalsted of New York-just, enough to show that there Is now some avowed sup port of Grant in tho North. Though only 18 of the Republicans voted against this resolution N>n the question of its passage, a larger number voted against the demand for tho previous question, and when that was ordered übout thirty of them left the hall, thus dodging tho vote. Among those who retired was Mr. Blaine. Only about one-half the Republicans voted ngainst the reso lution. The vote and proceedings, taken as a whole, show that a very large pro portion of the Republican party now wish to evade any expression at all upon tho third term question, and that there Is a strong support of Grant by the Southern Radicals, both negroes and carpet-baggers. Tho vote tends to strengthen tho belief that Gen. Grant can get tho vote of his party in the South for tho nomina tion, though ho cannot, with a fair election, secure rnuny Electoral votes from tho South; and that Northern Republican sentiment, though In clined against a third term for Grant, Is as yet divided and irresolute. Alnbnniu and Her Bondholder". A meeting of holders of the State bonds of Alabama was held in New York on Tuesday, to consider the proposition of tho Commissioners for sealing and re-fttndlng tho bonded debt of Alabama. We made a brief statement of the plan of tho Commis sioners a few days ago. The plan does not embrace the guaranteed bonds of railroads, and provides for the re-funding of only about $6,300,- 000 of the direct bonds of the State. The feeling of the meeting was strongly against the acceptance of tho proposition of the Commission ers, and a committee was appointed to draw up a remonstrance against it. The proposition has yet to be submitted to the Legislature of Ala bama, and the remonstrance will doubtless also be submitted to that body before it acts. Tho Now York Herald has detect ives engaged in the search for Tweed, and it thinks they have ascertained that Tweed went over into Long Island; that one of his friends or dered a dinner for him at an obscure hotel on that island, and waited there two days for him with a car riage, but Tweed did not arrivo ac cording to appointment. The Her ald believes that Tweed has returned to New York and is now conooaled in that city. It seems that the trial is being steadily followed by the Her ald employees, and unless some un foresoon aocldent should ocour, there is every reason to believe that the fugitive will bo run to earth. Tho Herald also believes that Tweed’s frlonds are endeavoring to effect a compromise on his behalf. The Jacksonville Union, correcting a report that Hon. Revordy Johnson had gone to Europe as the agent of tho Stato of Florida to sell three mil lions of acres of land belonging to that. State, says that he does not go as tho agent of the Slate, but as the agent of parties in New York, who have made an agreement with the Trustees of the Internal Improve ment Fund for tho purchase of a large body of land belonging to the fund, which will be conveyed to them by the Trustees, provided the pur chase money is deposited to their credit in New York within a certain specified time. The proceeds have to bo applied to the Internal Im provement fund, uml not to the pay ment of tho State debt. The strong disapprobation, in some localities, of the displacement of Mr. Henderson on account of his remarks on the Avery trial, is shown by the St. Louis Woslieh Post’s nominating him for the Presidency. The Post is an independent German paper, and is sometimes edited by Carl Schura. The latest reports of the condition of Mr. O’Conor represent his appetite as improving and his strength recov ering. Strong hopes are now enter tained that ho will again be able to leave his bed. UaUrork'" Ur. St. Lous, Dec. 18.—Gen. Babcock has been sent for and is expected here to-day, to plead and have his case set. It will doubtless go the U. S. Circuit Court. January term, and come on after those of McKee and McGuire. A report circulated here that some important documents to be used against Babcock had been purloined from the desk of clerk of U. 8. Court proves to bo entirely un founded. Kirk tlmiihoii Huns:. Savannah, Deo. 18.—Nick Thomp son, the negro who killed Capt. James 11. Hunter at Quitman in October 1874, was bung In Camilla yesterday morning. Gov. Smith refused to respite him. “Let no guilty man escape.”— President Grant. “Noble words of a patriot."—Washington Chroniote (■Grant’s organ.) “I’ve bagged Bab cock.” -Henderson. “General Hen derson is discharged for disrespect.” —President Grant.

Special officer Barrett is reported as saying that Marshal Packard, of New Orleans, will be required by At torney-General Pierrepont to “ex plain his conduct.” [We thought that Packard had always done every thing that tho Administration re quired of him.] A velocipede race for the long dis tance championship und SSOO was be gun at New York yesterday, between A. P. Messenger and W. E. Hardin. They rested at 9 o’clock with the advantage slightly In favor of Mes senger.

A dispatch from London says that Peru can not pay tho English bond holders, nnd much excitement exists among them. Turkey and her rebels appeared to be further from a peaceable settle ment than ever. Thermometer six degrees above zero at Cincinnati. THE HACK AT AK.INTA. LUCY AND BASIL DUKE. Special to the Daili Times.) Augusta, Ga., Deo. 18.—The race between Basil Duke, trotter, and pacing mare Lucy, billed for to-day at the Augusta raco track, was wit nessed by a couple of hundred per sons. The stakes were SI,OOO ou the mare against $750 on tho horse. Lu cy to pace to a ninety pound wagon, and Duke to a fifty pound sulky. The track being heavy gave the horse a decided advantage, and the crowd Were not surprised to see him win the first heat. But Lucy changed the aspect of things by taking the pole on the first quarter of the second heat and keeping it, winning tho sec ond and third heats. On the fourth heat Duke again got uhead and won the heat. At this point it was so late they concluded to postpone the fifth heat until Monday, when the first fight of the main between Georgia and Tennessee takes placo at the racetrack. Tuesday and Wednesday ten fights each day. There were a good many scratch fights to-day; none worth reporting. M. THE BURNING OF THE W. *. I*l ItE FURTHER PARTICULARS. New Orleans, Doc. 17.— Betweon 4 and 5 o’clock this morning fire origi nated In the engine-room of the packet W. S. Pike, while lying at her landing, head of Canal street. The flames so quickly enveloped the boat that it was impossible for any one to venture on board or render assist ance. It was not long before her forward mooriDgs were burned away, causing her burning stern to swiug around, striking Canal street ferry landing and setting on fire the sta tionary and floating parts of the wharf and placing the harbor police station bouse in great danger. The wind beiug high, the steamer was seen in a bright blaze from stein to stern. During the raging of the fire shrieks were heard on board, and two men were seen making their way through the flames. They were both rescued after beiug severely burned. Their names are John O’Brien, u passenger from Baton Rouge, who. besides being burned, had one leg broken; and John Buchard, sixteeen years old, from Now Albany, Ind.; 3d clerk, Wm. Bonnie, of Woodville, Miss., who was sleeping in his state room ut the time, hus not since been heard from. Mr. H. C. Young and family, of Port Hudson, were saved by Harvey Sutton, the cabin watch man. Those of the passengers who went ashore on Thursday night lost all their baggage. A young man named Bird, nephew of William von Phul, is missing. The books and papers of the boat were saved by the cabin watchman. The Tike arrived at the landing at seven o’clock Thursday evening, and immediately after 160 bales of cotton were removed to the wharf, but the rest of the freight, consisting of sugar, cotton, molasses and seed cotton, was lost. The hull sank at tho head of Canal street, leaving cot ton and freight floating in the river. The steamboat Rapides, lying near the Pike, was somewhat damaged by the fire about her up|>er works. The W. S. Pike was built at Jeffer sonville, Ind., about six years ago. She was a first class side-whoel pas senger steamer; original cost SIOO,- 000; was commanded by Capt. John J. Brown, who owned the greater portion of her. The estimated vol ume of her cargo set down at sloo,- 000, purtiatly covered by insurance. Besides the 160 bales cotton removed previous to the fire, over 500 bales have been since picked op in tho riv er, badly damaged. The molasses sunk in the hull, and it is thought it can be nearly if not all saved. The sugar is probably a total loss. The entire loss by lire aud water to boat and cargo may bo estimated at be tween $70,000 and SBO,OO. IHNTItEIMING n AII,IIOAD A< I IIIENT. AN OLD LADY KILLED Special ti Timer by S. k A. Line.) Fort Valley, Dec. 18.—Yesterday morning, about 4o’clock, a most ter rible uccidcnt occurred at Echeeonee creek, between t his place aud Macon, which resulted in the death of an old lady. She was walking on the trestle work which spans the creek, and had got only about half way across when a freight truin came along and knocked her off into tho water, kill ing her instantly. There is a heavy grade on the railroad at the point where the accident occurred. Al though the engineer blew on breaks and reversed his engine, it was impos sible to stop the train in time to save her life. The Columbus accommoda tion train was following the freight, which made it unsafe to stop, but the overseer at the next station wus in formed and instructed to go to the scene of the accident and look after the body. We could not learn her name. She had with her a srnull package of toys aud Christmas articles, which she was doubtless taking home to the lit tle ones. Seemingly she was aware ofthe approaching danger, but had not. tho presence of mind to avoid it. This is the second case of the kind which has happened in the vicinity of Fort Valley within the past two months. R. ■ • ♦ - -- The Government at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Dec. 17.—The Con gressional party with the President and members of the Cabinet, arrived to-night. The journalists of the party are being entertained by the Philadelphia Press Club.

Mo- Michael; Secretary Robeson and At •torney General Pierrepont are stop ping wit li ex-Secretnry Borie; Justices Waite, Field and Bradley ure the guests of Hon. Thos. H. Dudley, of Camden, New Jersey; Justices Strong and Hunt are guests of Jus. M. Flan agan, Justice Strong’s son-in-law The whole party number about four hundred. On their arrival there was a large crowd at the'depot, and at the vari ous hotels, where the Congressmen were-assigned quarters, large num bers of persons congregated. The crowd at the Continental Hotel was so great that tho police were compelled to put up ropes to make a passage-way for the guests. A committee of merchants escorted tlie party to this eity, meeting them at Wilmington. Mr. Mitchell, chairman ofthe com mittee of reception, presented to tiie President, at Wilmington, a letter from the Mayor of Philadelphia, ex tending to him and the distinguished delegation the hospitalities of the city. The President, replied in tv few words. A Wholesale Hnuxinw St. Mary’s. Fla., Dec. 18.—John B. Petty, white, and Edward Williams, Rafus Evans and Joshua Pinkney, colored, were hung here yesterday. Petty killed Elbert Alien, white, in 1864. Pinkney was in the party who murdered Dr. Eaton, white, in 1866, and Williams and Evans murdered Charles Sang, white, last July. All confessed. Williams held out until last night, when he confessed to a minister of the Gospel. The affair cast n deep gloom over the city. It is the first execution of criminals we have had here. Each confessed a hope of salvation. One of Petty’s counsel made a written request that he be hung separate from tlie ne groes; it was not granted. The af fair passed off quietly and solemnly. Petty said that Joe Marr and wife caused him to kill Allen. The Weather North. New York. Deo. 18.—Tho weather, which for some days past has been quite mild, has again suddenly turned cold and the thermometer this morning is down to fifteen degrees above zero. Scarcely any snow has fallen thus far this season. ONE NIGHT ONLY! BENEFIT OF THE MEMORIAL SO SOCIETY. A Cause Appealing to your Generosity, An EntfrtHlnment Worthy of Your l'atrouage.
